Baseball in Burma

What?? Baseball in Burma? It’s true. We did it again. We found an awesome local park and had a fun bit of catch much to the delight of some local kids and onlookers. Atty had his longyi knot fail mid-catch and it dropped to briefly reveal his colorful boxer briefs. Man did everyone, including Atticus, laugh. If you want to get the attention of curious locals when you travel, bring a baseball. It has been a great way to meet people and passively introduce a bit of our own culture.

No baseball players in Burma that we could see. The kid in the pic threw the ball just like they pitch in Cricket, so I am interested to see if we can get some sort of hybrid game going with some locals in India.
